Wenger has made Monaco ace Lemar his main target after completing the club record deal for Alexandre Lacazette.

Lemar had an impressive 2016/17 season for Monaco, making 34 league appearances as they beat Paris Saint Germain to the Ligue 1 title.

The 21-year-old is understood to be keen on joining the Gunners and working under Wenger but Monaco are extremely reluctant to lose him after selling Bernardo Silva and Tiemoue Bakayoko in the transfer window.

How might the Arsenal starting XI look with Thomas Lemar?

Lemar is understood to be keen on joining the Gunners and working under Wenger.

Nevertheless the Telegraph say Wenger's sole transfer focus is now on bringing Lemar to the Emirates.

And the report suggests Lemar's possible arrival may mean Alexis Sanchez is allowed to leave.

Sanchez sparked fresh speculation yesterday when he told reporters in Spain he wanted to play in the Champions League.
